Hi – great use of Twitter for an excellent goal. It took me awhile to track back to http://www.charitywater.org I’m always wary of spoofs and phishing and this could have been a hoax. Probably including a tiny URL in every post about this giving opportunity would increase credibility. Give people the option to donate directly from the site (or via snail mail for the less trusting). Thanks for doing this!
